Why Choose an Anthropology Major?
Anthropology is unique, even among the social sciences: It explores what it means to be human in all its dimensions - cultural, linguistic, biological, and archaeological. When we study anthropology, we learn how we fit in the global tapestry of cultures, ethnicities, and histories - by learning about others, we come to understand ourselves more fully.

A choice of two useful Minors
Anthropology also offers two Minors - one that touches on all aspects of the discipline, and one in Biocultural Medical Anthropology, which is a perfect companion to degrees in Pre-Med, Public Health, or Nursing.
